Plants & Flowers
When exploring green spaces or flower pressing, you might not know the names of the plants you have found. If this is the case, there are a variety of ways that can help with plant identification.
Smartphone Apps to identify plants
You can use a smartphone with a camera to identify plants. Just take a picture and the app will tell you the name of the plant. We have used ‘iplant’ on the iPhone and have found it really helpful. Visit this article for a list of apps that can be downloaded: https://fixthephoto.com/shazam-for-plants-app.html
A-Z of British trees from the Woodland Trust
‘Our A-Z guide to British trees from native species to naturalised and widely planted non-natives. Trees which colonised the land after the last ice age and before the UK was disconnected from mainland Europe are classed as native. Trees that have been brought to the UK by humans are known as non-native.’
